Eddie Murphy is set to reprise his iconic role as Axel Foley in 'Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F,' marking the return of the beloved character after a long hiatus. The new installment, streaming on Netflix, brings back familiar faces like Judge Reinhold and John Ashton alongside newcomers like Kevin Bacon and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Murphy describes Foley as an 'every man' who doesn't conform to the rules, embodying a character-driven and story-focused narrative in contrast to modern CGI-laden superhero films. The movie aims to maintain the original's essence with real-life stunts, including a thrilling helicopter chase across Los Angeles, capturing the spirit of the classic franchise while reintroducing Foley's witty and relatable persona.
